hell in a handbasket
I need to update about more important things, but something happened in the news I feel I MUST write about...
So the other day on CNN, I noticed a story about a woman who claimed she was beaten up by "a large black guy" at an ATM over the McCain/Palin bumper sticker on her car (after being robbed). She claimed she was held at knifepoint, robbed, and after the robber began to walk away, he smashed her in the head, face, and carved a backwards B on her face, telling her she'll be an Obama supporter yet.
At the time, I couldn't put my finger on it, but something felt odd about it, but I believed the story and thought how horrible some people in the world are.
I was right, we do have some sick, depressing people in the world....SHE MADE IT UP!

After being confronted with the evidence that she wasn't on the ATM's security camera, the woman, who is a McCain volunteer by the way, admitted she falsified the story. It talks about her having a history of mental problems, so maybe know she'll get help...but JEESH. Making up these kind of things is just sickening. I'm not even blaming McCain or Obama or anything, I just find it depressing someone would try to bring politics into it like this!
